Stringy Poop = Internal Parasite?

[kratos1028]

I soak my food in seachem metro, focus, and kanaplex with some garlic extreme. Works great!

Any pics of how the poop is looking? Are you sure it's a parasite and not normal? My fish sometimes have stringy poop too. It's just how they go.

stringy is one thing stringy and white is another .

I been fighting internals with my regal also ended up takeing him out of reef and put into fowlr with heavy dose of prazi and not have to worry about corals dieing. I also mix Mysis with spirulina brine and dose with metro and focus and then refreeze so fish get feed it every day hes still eating and seems to be eating more so figures crossed for the both of us

I've seen my tangs poop like this, but I think it is because they eat the chaeto that makes it from my sump to my DT. I don't think they digest it properly. My fish started doing this right after I added chaeto about 6-8 months ago. Could this be your situation?

there is no cheato, but my tang used to also do that. i seen him swim backward to eat the cheato poo that was still coming out as he was eating it. he is special ><

 

[Tethered_Limbs]

he died.

Soooo sorry... :'( Sometimes they're just too far gone to save them. You gave it your best try.
